The burglary charge is an Idaho state crime, claiming that BK entered the house intending to commit a crime, inside it. It has nothing to do with possible Federal charges, and nothing to do with crossing state lines.

Thank you. Burglary, unless committed on federal property like a national park or monument, must be prosecuted by the state. And thank you for reiterating how burglary is defined. No windows need to be broken, no locks picked. And here is the link to Idaho law:
legislature.idaho.gov
And here is a copy/paste of what it says:
//18-1401. BURGLARY DEFINED. Every person who enters any house, room, apartment, tenement, store, shop, warehouse, mill, barn, stable, outhouse, or a building, tent, vessel, vehicle, trailer, airplane, or railroad car with intent to commit any theft or any felony is guilty of burglary.
History:
[18-1401, added 1972, ch. 336, sec. 1, p. 871; am. 1981, ch. 183, sec. 3, p. 326; am. 1997, ch. 87, sec. 1, p. 213; am. 2020, ch. 219, sec. 1, p. 651; am. 2021, ch. 185, sec. 1, p. 508.]

Note that it can be just entering a room with intent to take something. Or a tent. ANY theft or ANY felony makes the entry into that room a burglary in Idaho. Good law, IMO. In this case, the defendant entered a house with intent to murder and then two rooms with intent to murder.
Clearly burglary in Idaho.
And here's one of the links where the change in facial hair is mentioned:

There's a better source of an actual interview of one of his criminology Ph.D. cohort students, mentioning he seemed to stop shaving (an actual interview), but it is not an approved source, even though it's clearly a person who has a serious interest in proper observation of the case (the original interview was then taken up by severe MSM outlets, as it should be and is linked above).
